**************************************************
Mouse Support
**************************************************
With Version 2.1 mouse support has been
introduced. Mouse navigation is simple and
universal throughout the program.
Keystroke Icons
***************
Any time a Keystroke Icon appears on the screen you
may point to it and press the left mouse button.
The corresponding keystroke will be simulated. A
Keystroke Icon is any representation of a key that
appears on the screen to achieve a desired effect
or select an option.
Option Boxes
************
Any time an Option Box appears on the screen you
can select any of the options within the box by
pointing to the option and clicking the left mouse
button. Placing the mouse cursor on the top frame
of the box and pressing the left button moves the
highlight to the first option. Placing the mouse
cursor on the bottom frame of the box and pressing
the left button moves the highlight to the last
option.
**************************************************
Mouse Support
**************************************************
Help / Query
************
When a Help or Query box is on the screen only the
keystroke Icons, on the frame of the box are
active. Clicking the right mouse button, no
matter where the mouse cursor is, will escape from
Help. The right mouse button has no effect in
Query.
File Viewing Screens
********************
The Viewing Screens have a special Keystroke Icon
bar located just under the file viewing area.
The left up and down arrow icons operate the
record pointer at the left of the screen. While
over these arrows you can stand on the left mouse
button and the record pointer will move
accordingly. Clicking the right mouse button will
page up and down respectively.
The right up and down arrow icons also operate the
record pointer at the left of the screen. While
over these arrows, clicking the left button will
move the record pointer one record at a time.
Clicking the right mouse button will page up and
down respectively.
The right and left arrow icons move the highlight
over the options at the bottom of the screen.
The return icon simulates the [RETURN] key.
The diamond icon simulates the [ESCAPE] key.
As you read this manual you will notice that it
concerns itself with the actual keystrokes to be
pressed. Please use this discussion of mouse
navigation to translate those keyboard commands
into mouse commands.
**************************************************
Utility
**************************************************
With Version 2.1 nine different screen fonts are
available if you have a VGA monitor.
Screen Fonts
************
Two FONTS may be displayed on the screen at one
time. The PROGRAM FONT and the DATA FONT. The
Program Font is the font the program uses to
display all program information and messages. The
Data Font is the font used to display the data you
enter and the highlighted areas in option boxes.
Use the right and left [ARROW] keys to select
between Program and Data Font. Use the up and
down [ARROW] keys to highlight the desired font.
Press [RETURN] to change the font. You will notice
the screen font will change immediately. To return
to the Main Menu press the [ESCAPE] key or click the
left mouse button over the [ESCAPE] key ICON.
NOTE: This option is only selectable on systems
with VGA monitors.
**************************************************
Marking And Unmarking Records
**************************************************
You may now MARK ALL RECORDS in a file by pressing
the [F3] key while you are in the main viewing
screen for that file. By pressing the [F4] key
you can UNMARK all records in a file. This might
be useful if you were to execute the QUERY
procedure, filter the viewing output, and then
MARK ALL RECORDS. This is just another way you
can filter the viewing or printing output. You
most likely would use the QUERY procedure instead.
**************************************************
Deleting And Recalling Records
**************************************************
You may now globally DELETE records by pressing the
[F5] key. There may be times when you want to
DELETE an entire class of records. To do this you
would first select the QUERY procedure and filter
the output to some condition. At the main viewing
screen you would press [F5] and all the records
in that QUERY condition would be marked for
DELETION. Should you want to RECALL a class of
records you would follow the same steps and press
[F6]. All records in that QUERY condition would
be RECALLED.
**************************************************
Laser Printers
**************************************************
There has been quite a request to use laser printers
with this program so the printer setup has been
changed to allow you to use them. When you enter
the PRINTER SET UP you will be asked if you are
setting up a DOT MATRIX or LASER printer. Highlight
your choice and press [RETURN]. If you select LASER
you will be asked to supply the codes your printer
uses for COMPRESSED TEXT, UNDERLINE ON, UNDERLINE OFF,
and RESET. Refer to your printer manual for the
correct DECIMAL codes. The same convention is used
for a DOT MATRIX printer so refer to the HOME
ENTERTAINMENT MANUAL for a detailed explanation.
Laser codes are longer so the input areas will scroll
when you get to the end should you need more room.
HP LASERJET III CODES
*********************
COMPRESSED - \027\038\107\050\083
UNDERLINE ON - \027\038\100\051\068
UNDERLINE OFF - \027\038\100\064
RESET - \027\069
Three different CODES are needed for laser setup.
PAGE LINES is the number of lines per page your LASER
can print. For an HP LASERJET III this would be 59.
If your reports eject before they print the page
number at the bottom, decrease this number. # OF
LABEL ROWS FROM TOP is the number of rows you wish to
skip at the top of every label page. For an HP
LASERJET III this would be 0. # OF LABEL COLUMNS
FROM LEFT is the column number, from the left of the
page, that you want your labels to start at. For an
HP LASERJET III this would be 1. If your labels print
too far to the left increase this number.
**************************************************
Laser Labels
**************************************************
This program is set up to use a standard AVERY laser
label number 5161. These labels are 20 per sheet,
1" x 4", two across.
